It is also aging population The great thing about sailing vs powerboating is that everyone on board is involved in sailing whereas powerboat is like sitting on the beach. Boring (if you are not the driver). Sailing can be a lot of work and racing needs an active crew. Powerboat you are less dependent on other people to take your boat out for the day.
My last boat will hopefully be something like a Mainship. It will be flag blue. Sabre also made that realization. Even the major sailboat manufacturers are making sailboats that have more and more the attributes of powerboats ….

My own opinion is that sailing has become a diminishing interest.....while power boats are enjoying a growth market..... It's the immediate gratification generation......just turn the key and drive away..... It's not the lack of money.......except for special circumstances.....e.g. Comanche, Meteor, etc......the money is going into power..... Check out the MJM 50 e.g. big engines, gyroscopic stabilization and a $2.5 M pricetag..... And the waiting list is over 3 years long......MJM produces at least 2 boats per week.....from 35' to 50'.......the least expensive is in the $900K range..... Makes me really like my C&C even more........ Ron C.
